About the Recipe
Okay, hear us out—peanut butter in a latte? With tea? It might sound a little out there, but trust us, this cozy, creamy, and lightly spiced drink is pure magic. The rich nuttiness of peanut butter, the warmth of cinnamon, and the bold depth of your favorite strong black tea from Cup'ital Tea (just skip the Earl Grey!) come together in a way you wouldn’t expect—but totally need to try. Don’t knock it till you sip it!

Heat the Milk – In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until hot but not boiling.
Blend the Flavors – Whisk in the peanut butter, honey (or brown sugar), cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and nutmeg until smooth and well combined.
Combine – Pour the brewed tea into a mug, then add the peanut butter milk mixture, stirring gently.
Froth It Up (optional) – Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously for a creamy, frothy texture.
Garnish & Serve – Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or crushed peanuts for extra indulgence.
Tips & Variations
Use oat or almond milk for a nutty undertone that complements the peanut butter.
For an iced version, let the tea cool and mix all ingredients with cold milk, then serve over ice.
